9·1 year agonot a symptom, but a trigger or risk factor - dental trauma can be really painful and becomes psychological trauma if severe enough
especially if someone was already predisposed to anorexia/bullimia, something like severe jaw pain can indirectly trigger a clinical eating disorder. the point is that all health is intrinsically linked and not neatly cordoned off into “dental,” “regular,” and “vision.”
good question thanks for asking! :)
first normal comment on the broader situation here :P simple as that
i was feeling disappointed but i got confirmation from a mod that there’s evidence of vote manipulation in this thread which is still sad? but in a less depressing sense
it’s weird to get downvoted so hard for just saying “some people responded to this guy stealing info with slurs and that’s bad”
remind me not to spend time on .world, yall are regressing bad
that’s awesome, i happen to agree. no one was arguing that. :P
lol imagine calling me a tankie for having mild criticism for my US neighbors getting screwed over by capital-run medicine.
anyway i checked and i have blocked you a bunch of times on other instances. so you’re one to talk about burners. XD
did the US?
correct. someone here is manipulating votes so can’t wait to see both of us get cratered within 15 minutes.
ah. so your evidence for “every PhD student” is one (1) person and some… contracts.
cool cool. if not racist, orientalist. thanks for showing your hand.
more like the United states defended
private monopolization of publicly fundedcancer research.it matters to everyone who can’t afford or access treatment worldwide, unfortunately
I haven’t been on any .world subs for a while, didn’t realize it was this bad here
By what evidence ?
e: comment removed for racism. :) everyone should learn from this.
You miss the crux of this despite quoting it yourself
The MDACC is publicly funded. They take money from our taxes.
Why would a “non-profit” be so concerned with keeping medical research data private? Unless they, perhaps, are planning to sell to a for-profit pharmaceutical company. This isn’t my analysis, it’s truth; this is how it works.
The argument you are laying out is the “national competitive edge”—ignoring the harm that this exact strategy has already caused. Here are some real events that represent a recurring pattern:
- Covid mRNA research was funded in part by public grants; despite this, research was not shared as a public good leaving huge swaths of the Global South without timely access
- The AIDS crisis was worse and decades longer in Asia and Africa than in the US, even while treatment existed, due to the privatization of medical data and the resulting monopoly abuse of treatment pricing
- In 2025, similar patterns are playing out with cancer research, like from MDACC here. Except this time, the profiteering is done of the face of actual US citizens; the ones who paid for the research. In the US, novel cancer treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, meaning that significant percentiles of sick taxpayers forgo treatment because the taxpayer research was sold to a private institution.
It is from these examples I feel it’s easy to conclude that publicly funded healthcare research should not be a trade secret. Any attempt to undermine that structure of abusing literally life-saving information for wealth sequestration gets a couple of cool points in my book.
womp womp
you missed the third step which is “a lot of people using the c slur and spouting anti-Asian rhetoric”
it literally says it in the post dude. and those threads are available to the public, i could pull them up as evidence… pls i need us all to keep up
